After reading a post abt umbridge i was reminded on an interview where jk rowling mentioned she based umbridge on some woman she hated.
I realized how plain umbridge was portrayed. And i mean that as in her only reason of being on the story was to ensure the struggle between justice and corruption was noted. She wanted to highlight that fact by using this pure interpretation of evil…. But that’s all there is to her.
There’s no motive, no loyalty, no reasoning other than wanting to see others in pain.
Every. single. other. character have those key structures built into them. They have flaws, yes. But they all have l o g i c and h u m a n i t y lodged in somewhere, even voldemort.
And i need someone to tell me what there is to umbridge that gives her actual layers because I’m at a blank. Please.
